Musandam

Things to do:

There is a ton of things you can do in Musandam, and it basically boils down to how much time you have and how adventurous you are:

> Take a boat ride along along the beautiful Musandam fjords. This is one of the must-do activities, and if you have kids they will definitely enjoy it as dolphin encounters are common.

> Learn more about the history and unique culture of the people of Musandam peninsula by visiting the wonderful exhibitions at Khasab Castle. You may also want to check out Bukha Fort, just over 30 kms from Khasab.

> Camp at Bassah beach, which is next to the Khasab Golden Tulip. To be honest, this is not an ideal place to camp as it gets very crowded, is right next to the highway and is not very clean, but it is the one of the very few sandy beaches we saw in Khasab. You will probably have a much nicer time camping at one of the other beaches that are accessible only by boats.

> Drive up mountain Hareem (Jebal Hareem), where you will be offered spectacular views of the valleys and villages around. You will need a 4WD for this.

> Visit Kumzar village, the upper northern part of the peninsula. This village is accessible only by boat.

> Diving and snorkeling activities can be done anywhere and there are half a dozen places in Khasab that offer these activities.

> You can also drive along the spectacular Musandam shorelines, perhaps even up to the mountainous road on the Eastern Side of the peninsula which is meant to be spectacular drive.
